About

Straight-talking.
Fair offers.
No messing.

I'm Noel — I buy performance and prestige cars from private owners across the UK and Ireland.

28 years and counting in the motor trade has given me the experience and contacts to place your car with the right trade buyer and do it in days, rather than weeks.

I live and breathe the used car market, so you can have confidence in the answers I give to your questions.

Noel The Car Buyer
How I Work

Three things I won't compromise on.

Honesty

I will always keep you informed of the situation, the good and the bad — I ask you for the same respect in return.

Straight

The first offer I make is always the best offer. It will be valid for 24 hours. After that it is a fresh valuation — no offers are held.

Accountability

I base my offers firmly on your description. If it matches in reality, the price won't move.

“Sold my car to Noel after Motorway were dreaming with their valuations and We Buy Any Car were offering less. Super easy to be fair and good reassurance along the way.”

“I sold my Q7 with Noel and it was easy, hassle free — he gave good money too. The only reason it took so long for us to sell was because my wife was struggling to let a good car go. I would definitely recommend Noel and his staff to sell. Thanks again, pleasure doing business.”

“That's the Cupra gone… Very sad to see it drive away, but it's time for a change. I sold it to Noel McKay in the end, and in all honesty it has been the most straightforward and pleasant sale I've experienced to date. If you're on the fence about selling to him, then I'm happy to talk to anyone about my experience. Noel is a top bloke and true to his word.”
